Focused on Tax Law for Over Two Decades
Paul Tarnavsky — known as The Tax Lawman — has practiced tax law for over 20 years, focusing on tax controversy matters and tax preparation for individuals and businesses.
Tax issues can be stressful and confusing. Whether you're facing an IRS audit, dealing with back taxes, or simply trying to file your returns correctly, having an attorney who understands both the legal and practical dimensions of tax matters can make a meaningful difference.
At Tax Lawman, the practice is deliberately focused. Tax controversy and tax preparation are not secondary services — they are the core of what we do. That focus means you get undivided attention on your tax matter rather than a generalist juggling multiple practice areas.
With experience preparing over 2,000 tax returns and handling over 500 audits and IRS disputes, Tax Lawman brings a practical, case-by-case approach to every matter. The goal is clear communication, realistic expectations, and workable solutions.
Core Principles
- Honesty: You get a straightforward assessment of your situation — not what you want to hear, but what you need to know.
- Clarity: Tax law can be complex. We translate it into plain language so you can make informed decisions.
- Practicality: We focus on solutions that actually work for your situation, not theoretical best-case outcomes.
- Accountability: You work directly with Paul Tarnavsky — not a paralegal or associate.
